Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a method for manufacturing a shell for a portable electronic device. The method involves using a diaphanous mold and a plastic layer to create the shell. The technical effect of this method is to provide a shell that is stronger and more durable, while also improving the appearance of the device. Additionally, the method includes a method for solidifying a glue layer to further strengthen the shell.

Problems solved by technology

However, the wood substrate could be damaged during the manufacturing process of the portable electronic devices, leaving a mottled appearance.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean at least one.

[0014]Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 3, one embodiment of a method for manufacturing a shell includes:

[0015](S11), providing a diaphanous mold 20 having a cavity 202;

[0016](S12), disposing a plastic layer 14 on a surface 202a of the cavity 202 of the diaphanous mold 20;

[0017](S13), disposing a glue layer 16 on the plastic layer 14;

[0018](S14), disposing a substrate 12 on the glue layer 16;

[0019](S15), solidifying the glue layer 16 such that the substrate 12 is adhered on the plastic layer 14 by the solidified glue layer 16 to form the shell 10 (see FIG. 4); and

[0020](S16), separating the shell 10 from the diaphanous mold 20.

Abstract

A method for manufacturing a shell includes the following steps. A diaphanous mold having a cavity is provided. A plastic layer is disposed on a surface of the cavity of the diaphanous mold. A glue layer is disposed on the plastic layer. A substrate is disposed on and contacting the glue layer. The glue layer is solidified such that the substrate is adhered on the plastic layer by the solidified glue layer. The shell which comprises the substrate, the glue layer, and the plastic layer is separated from the diaphanous mold.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims all benefits accruing under 35 U.S.C. §119 from Taiwan Patent Application No. 100111149, filed on Mar. 30, 2011 in the Taiwan Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Technical Field[0003]The present disclosure relates to a shell and a method for manufacturing the shell.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]The development of portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, music players, and personal digital assistants has allowed people to express themselves through the use of technology. The appearance of these portable electronics devices are an important selling point. A metal layer or a plastic layer is usually formed on the surface of the portable electronic device, or the portable electronic device is assembled with a metal housing or a plastic housing, to give mechanical strength to these portable electronic devices.[0006]A wood subst...
